Hello all! It's been a busy day in our household as we completed an 11 hour shopping marathon
All in all, I didn't spend too much considering everything I bought, but I spend more than I anticipated at the outset of the day...
Started bright and early at Circuit City at 5 am and then progressed to Target, the Disney Store (X2), the Character Warehouse, Carter's (I always get into trouble there!) and Barnes and Noble amongst other stores. Got some great deals/gifts and a few things for myself/the house.
Anyway, I am down to one present for my best friend and a few things for the DH and a gift card for my parents to finish up my necessary shopping. And then, my office is adopting a family and Ty's school is setting up an Angel Tree so we will pick up some things for charity. Also, I saw that KBF is doing Toys for Tots for free admission during the weekends in Dec. Since we have never made it over there, I am considering giving up our first partial day at DL on Dec. 21st to check out KBF and donate to a good cause at the same time. Has anyone ever gone there during the winter? Is it worth our time? They are only open until 7 pm, so I told Dave that we would still be hitting DL for fireworks and snow that night since we have the APs and can do that!
Along with Cheryl I couldn't get enough Thanksgiving yesterday as we went to a friend's house along with about 12 other people. We were in charge of cranberries and mac'n'cheese, but I found myself longing all the traditional foods my family makes too. So, we bought a turkey breast and put everything together yesterday so that the casseroles just had to bake today and voila Thanksgiving dinner redux tonight!
Hope that everyone else had a great day! I still can't wrap my head around the fact that it is Friday and I still get two more whole days before I have to be back at work!

I'm excited to do it!


I do not really enjoy it. I usually get really nervous in the stores as the total gets higher and higher. I literally feel ill. I hate that feeling. No Christmas joy, that's for sure. This is why I have such a love/hate relationship with Christmas, and prefer Halloween. LOL
My stress level is already cut in half. I need a gift for DH and then I'm done! Yay!

They don't even know how to navigate the park correctly. I feel obligated to go home to CA with them on Sunday and take them by the hand and lead them through DLR the "right way". These poor people are CLUELESS!
Oh well.
And I hope whatever surgery your mom is having goes ok.
But just think ahead to March!
